As everyone has stated, the answer is diversity: there will always be applications that you need to run in windows and others in linux so my opinion is that considering the evolution of hard-drives and their present capacity, there is no problem in creating windows&linux partitions.

How do I use photoshop to convert a png file to a grd file for gradient use? I downloaded some gradients off of deviant art but they came as .png files. I tried to use the 'save as' function but grd isn't an option. How do I use photoshop to save this png as a gradient/grd?
